"I can try" I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me" His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw "That's what you really want?" I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind. "I'm dangerous Abby, this is your last chance, tried to warn you" My stomach twists and knots, as I use every ounce of bravery I have.

Started: 11/6/2020 Completed: 12/26/2020 "I hope you remember what I said, Atlas," he said. He went back to his firm tone of voice now that we were alone. He glanced up at me as he packed three pairs of jeans into the bag. I was too busy trying to figure out how the hell I had three brothers who suddenly wanted custody of me after all these years of me being in foster care that I didn't even remember what Mr. Harris had told me last night, but it clicked. He had told me those things because he knew that I was leaving him today. "You will never be loved by them if they find out what you are, what you've done. And if they do find out, I'm sure they'll send you right back here to me where you belong," he said calmly as he placed the rest of my turtlenecks next to the jeans and lastly put in a coat. He zipped the bag that he had apparently finished packing for me and I looked around the room. "Let's go," he said firmly holding the bag in his hand as he walked out of my room. I didn't know if I should be happy or scared to be leaving Mr. Harris. I never imagined that I would be leaving him. Ever. He had told me last year on my birthday that he was going to marry me when I turned 18 and aged out of the system. *** For Atlas Bishop, moving in with three older brothers she never knew she had meant a chance at freedom she believed she didn't deserve. But there's no rest for the wicked. Every decision she must make in her new life will hide the fact that she was harboring the devil inside, deceiving everyone around her so she doesn't get punished ever again. Ace Innocenti has never been in love before, but he's certain he's in love with an innocent angel, the new girl Atlas Bishop. He's determined to keep his anger issues in check and his illegal activities at bay to keep her that way. But, innocence has a dark side that lies and cheats, and Ace learns his lesson the hard way.

Payton Taylor is trying to write a new chapter in her life-but starting over is harder than it sounds. No matter how carefully she erases the past, the chalk always seems to show through. Whistler is an elite private security firm that recruits only the best of the best, forging highly effective teams to operate where governments cannot. Drawn to Whistler's mission of protection, Payton enters their brutal training program determined to prove that someone like her can still choose to be one of the good guys. As one of the only women in a class dominated by ego, violence, and unspoken rules, Payton quickly learns that survival isn't just about physical endurance. Respect must be earned. Trust is fragile. Every mistake is magnified, every success questioned. While hiding the truth of who she used to be, Payton works to stay unnoticed-until protecting someone on her new team forces her to risk the anonymity that has kept her safe. Through relentless training and hard-won alliances, Payton carves out her place not by changing who she is, but by refusing to. She believes redemption isn't granted-it's built. The question isn't whether Payton can survive Whistler. It's whether Whistler will accept a hero who needs redemption. Blank Slate is a gritty, character-driven thriller about trust, accountability, and earning the right to stand on the side of good-without erasing who you've been.
